Securing the AI workforce: Zscaler’s zero-trust play for agentic AI

Since Zscaler Inc.‘s launch, the company’s mission has been to disrupt traditional access and security with its Zero Trust platform. At its user event, Zenith Live, in Las Vegas, the company made its case for what its next act would look like: becoming the foundational “zero trust for agentic AI” platform. For enterprises, the keynote by Chief Executive Jay Chaudhry (pictured) highlighted that securing artificial intelligence agents, including their connections, data paths and device footprint, is now a board-level architectural decision, not a bolt-on control, and that this will require a rethinking of security.

The AI supersystem shift: Why Arista’s 1.6T announcement is an Ethernet inflection point

The networking industry loves inflection points. Over the years, we have had many new compute models that require the network to evolve. For as long as I can remember, the holy war between InfiniBand and Ethernet was fought on a relatively simple battlefield: throughput versus ubiquity. But as artificial intelligence workloads scale from tens of thousands of processors to massive clusters approaching the million-graphics-processing-unit mark, the network is fundamentally changing. It is no longer just a standalone infrastructure layer; it has become the critical backplane of a tightly integrated AI supersystem.

Five takeaways from the Cisco Live keynotes

At Cisco Systems Inc.‘s annual event, Cisco Live, this week in Las Vegas, it was no surprise that artificial intelligence was the top theme of the show and dominated most of the news and product innovations announced. Cisco has been successful in riding the AI wave and using it as a growth engine. Over the past year, revenue and profits have grown, and the stock price has doubled. The company has accomplished this by positioning itself as “critical infrastructure for the AI era” and by revamping its entire product line to back that claim.

Five thoughts from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s GTC Taipei 2026 keynote

Useful artificial intelligence has arrived, and if Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang is right, it is about to reshape not only data centers but also the structure of the global economy and the tech labor market. In his GTC Taipei 2026 keynote, Huang laid out his vision for the “age of agents,” agentic AI systems that don’t just answer questions but also observe, reason, plan and act across distributed infrastructure.

From resilience to survivability: How AI forces a rethink of business continuity

Artificial intelligence is forcing companies to change almost every aspect of their business. From operations to hiring to sales and training, change is happening faster than ever. One aspect of this change that has flown under the radar is the need for companies to rethink their business continuity plans. AI is pressuring enterprises to move beyond traditional ideas of resilience and toward architectures and operating models that assume continuous, systemic disruption — and can keep the business running anyway.
